Thankful Thursday – Feb 8, 2024

Thankful Thursday

Hi there! This is a new series I’m testing out that shares 5 things I’m grateful for from the week. If you enjoy the series, please leave a comment below so I know to keep it going. Thanks!

1. The Pantry Challenge

All in all, the quick pantry challenge reminded me that I don’t need to follow a recipe perfectly to make a good meal or snack. And it was fun getting a little creative.

2. Unexpected Free Time

My daughter’s sports practice got canceled for tonight. Having a few hours open that I didn’t before feels amazing. I might take a walk. Or read a book. Or take a nap. The sky’s the limit!

3. Bike Shorts

Yeah, this might be a weird one. 😂. But I’ve been running more and the thigh rubbing was making me miserable. I tried the spandex shorts for women, but they always rode up. (Sometimes I get mad at how women’s clothes are made!) Wearing bike shorts under my regular shorts is helping tremendously.

So, I’m very grateful for this new discovery!

4. Early Bedtimes

I got to bed early or on time every day this week. And it resulted in a full week of good sleep. My sleep has been off lately with my hubby traveling more, so this was a great energy boost.

5. The New Series on Both Sites

It’s fun getting more personal – almost like journaling. I’ve enjoyed writing for these more than I thought I would.

Stay tuned for a new Friday series on WW starting tomorrow called “Money Talks & Life Lessons.” And on my other blog, I’ll be doing Monday updates for goals of the month and a Friday series of “How We Connected for the Week.” They’re all short and sweet while highlighting real-life experiences.

Newsletter is going out today too. Sign up to get it sent straight to your inbox.

What are you thankful for this week?

Love always,

Jenn
